The Western feces-for-brains want a no-fly zone in Syria. Russia very successfully proved that it's Khibiny and Krasukha jamming systems can jam up anything. Khibiny
Russia is sending it's entire northern fleet to Syria. They will arrive in about 2 weeks. https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/2279
Russia pulled out it's land based resources so that soldiers won’t get killed. It is maintaining it's base at Tartus. If it uses all sea-based forces, pax americana and NATO won't be able to easily bomb Russian forces by mistake.
The Pentagram is going to have to tell the politicians that Syria can not be attacked.
Hopefully, the anger overload with the neocons will reach critical mass,,, blow up,, and kill everything in the district of corruption.

In 2009, Netanyahu made a secret visit to Russia and demanded that Putin refuse to sell armaments to Iran. Putin personally threw him out of the Kremlin and told him that he could turn israel into a sheet of glass.
Israel, for their part has the Samson Option where they launch all of their nukes at Western cities.http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1273.htm

It is 1860 and Stephen Douglas is running against Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln’s election will lead to a civil war. The pitfalls of catastrophic events were ever present.

In 2016, it is Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. It is becoming clear that the election of either candidate will set off civil unrest and possibly lead to a civil war.

We are now just beginning to see a myriad of pieces fall into place in which will irrevocably divide this country for at least a generation.

When Hillary Clinton wins, the awakened American people, and some in the military will not accept this country being handed off to the UN and ultimately the Chinese. Hillary has no plan for America and the reason is clear. America has no future is she is elected by hook or crook.

If Trump even gets close to winning, the forces are of the NWO are not going to forsake the continued raping of the American people and just give up. They will fight!

Well, the CIA coup failed. The courts and military refused to go along with the ruse. The East is rising with new plans like the New Silk Road. The Western plan was to start a limited war between Russia and western Europe. This would queer economic relationships with Russia for decades to come. Russia would be forced to sell their oil cheaply and it would have limited access to European markets. The CIA hasn't given up yet on war.
Obummer, the Pentagram and the CIA have a short window to get a war going. They may start in Poland; https://www.rt.com/usa/370322-us-troops-poland-russia/

It recently came down to the wire on the election and the CIA got blown out of the water. There is a short time until the inauguration and hopefully, the WAR MACHINE will get blown out of the country.
I expect Trump to cut WAY back on foreign military bases. I expect Trump to do a BIG buildup on domestic military bases as a way to invest in America.

"Stuxnet is uncommonly dangerous in the world of malware, and to the digital detectives who discovered it and the analysts tasked with figuring out what it was, who made, and what it could do, it was their worst case scenario, something they had hoped they would never actually see unleashed unto the world.

“I wouldn’t call it amazement, it was kind of a shock. It went beyond our worst fears, our worst nightmares, and this continued the more we analyzed. "
"former head of the NSA and former director of the CIA, Retired General Michael Hayden, would say very little about it, except to warn us of the significance that Stuxnet will have on the future of warfare, representing a startling escalation into an entirely new battlefield."
"In this way the worm is autonomous once released, always quietly crawling the world advancing toward its target. "
"an NSA source remarks on the importance and origins of Stuxnet. Her comment is to be taken as a warning that the government has released something into the world that they cannot control, that cannot be put bag in the bag, that will only evolve and further advancements in malware."

" We did Stuxnet. It’s a fact. We came so phucking close to disaster and we’re still on the edge. "

It could also be said America is the number one threat to Russia. The common thread is corporations and the accumulation of wealth. The weak mind may see these artifacts as a surface effect never revealing the true cause. The true cause is common to both Russia and America... do you know what it is?.

It's when people like Trump, Putin, etc.. who have no real purpose in life other than to dominate are compelled to dominate every scenario. It is not about democracy, not religion or beliefs or a parcel of land. It is a play ground pissing contest among juveniles posing as grown ups.

Personally I like these kinds of people with obvious mental disorders because they are so damn predictable. You start by pushing their buttons with subtle challenges to their manhood, their most prized possession. Then you start working on their credibility and beliefs then before you know it poof their red in the face screaming like a little school girl. This of course is their true personality they have been hiding from everyone. An overcompensation for that insecure scared little boy who never really grew up. It is kind of funny when we think about it because we all have these fears.

The problem I see is your only concentrating on superficial man made contrivance so you are obviously a nerd like myself. However I don't think WW3 it is an issue per say. The big boy will most likely be a planetary event such as a massive solar flare or an asteroid because were over due. In which case all your concerns would seem to be of little consequence wouldn't they?.

As if to say I may not agree with you or your beliefs but you see there is this 30 Km wide asteroid about to hit this planet most likely killing 80% of the population so do you think we could put our petty differences aside for the moment?. In which case all your concerns would seem quite trivial wouldn't they?. Nature is like that and just when you think you have it all under control it comes around to bite us in the arse. That is not you or I but we my friend, we as in all of us against a universe bound and determined to destroy all that we know and love.

Look I understand your point of view but when I look up on a clear absurdly calm summer night I have come to understand we are not enemies, we are friends bound by a common goal. Survival... because all that "stuff" out there in this universe we inhabit is bound and determined to kill us all. Believe me when I tell you our differences are the least of our worries and if you will cover my back I will cover yours.

Personally I think this petty theatrical BS we see out there needs to end and if we cannot come together as a species were screwed, we truly are.

NATO is a useless piece of dung. Knowing this, the military, in general, is trying to start conflicts to justify their existence.
“Three years after the last American tanks left the continent, we need to get them back,” said Lieutenant General Frederick “Ben” Hodges, commander of US forces in Europe."
"While NATO is preparing for war against Russia, Hodges turned everything upside down and accused Russia of preparing for war. “This does not mean that there necessarily has to be a war, none of this is inevitable"Just make sure that we get all the funding we want.

Russia covers 11 time zones and has plenty of natural resources. There is nothing in Eastern Europe that is of any interest to them. BUT, the neocons are salivating on the prospect of sucking the economic blood out of Russia.

The chosenites are desperate to start a war with Russia. Russia stands in the way of the flagging plans for a global empire run by the chosenites. Russia might take a stand in Syria rather than waiting for the wolves to knock on their door. The chosenites have surrounded Russia with military on their borders that make their evil intentions very clear.
Israel and their American satrap have formed and financed ISIS. Israel also has no fear of Al CIAduh. They do have a fear of Russia.
"In response to Russia’s alleged warning, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has reportedly told Vladimir Putin that Israeli air strikes will continue in Syria to contain threats." Yes, the threat of losing the oil in the Golan Heights.
"It speaks volumes that Israel conducts airstrikes within Syrian territory without even targeting the terror groups Western media has portrayed as sheer evil, like ISIS. In fact, on multiple occasions, ISIS fighters have left behind Israeli weaponry following a string of defeats."

“Putin sent a clear message,” said Bashar Jaafari on Syrian television Sunday night, as reported by Haaretz. “The fact is that the Israeli ambassador [to Russia] was summoned for a conversation only a day after he submitted his credentials [to the Russian Foreign Ministry last Thursday], and was told categorically that this game was over.”'This Game Was Over': Putin Sent Israeli Govt. Clear Warning, but It's Not Listening

Israhell desperately needs to control or remove Trump. They can't waltz through Syria on their own. Their proxy, ISIS is having a lot of trouble. If Putin says "game over", that means that israeli jets won't have free passage.
I suspect that Trump will pay lip service to Netanyahoooos demands but, refuse to commit American military. If he was going to bow to their demands, he would be a lot more aggressive towards Iran.

Trump can easily bang sabers all along Russia's borders and still do nothing. It is entirely possible that the neocons will supply a huge provocation like they tried in ND/ NJ /Iraq. They tried to get American troops in Iraq nuked to really get the war going.https://www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/vi...4e17d50660271e

Hopefully, Trump and other sane people will be able to keep the neocons from pushing Putin into a corner.

Israeli General Moshe Dayan admitted that israhell always provoked it's adversaries until they finally responded. That response gave israhell a reason to strike back in a huge way. THAT is what is ongoing in the Golan Heights.
"Never mind that. After all, I know how at least 80 percent of the clashes there started…It went this way: We would send a tractor to plow some area where it wasn’t possible to do anything, in the demilitarized area, and knew in advance that the Syrians would start to shoot. If they didn’t shoot, we would tell the tractor to advance farther, until in the end the Syrians would get annoyed and shoot. And then we would use artillery and later the air force also, and that’s how it was.”

"It is becoming increasingly clear than unless there is some very careful rethinking on the part of Washington and of Israel, we might find ourselves in another war for oil in of all places the Golan Heights, this one a war involving Syria, Russia, Iran, Lebanon’s Hezbollah on one side and Israel and Rex Tillerson’s 68 nation “anti-ISIS coalition” on the other side, another senseless war over control of oil."Golan Heights, Israel, Oil and Trump | New Eastern Outlook

ET-Power, I try to get beyond just reporting. Naturally, i have to go out on a limb to do projections. Neither Putin, nor Trump want a war. Assad sure doesn't. The neocons want a war with Russia and hope to get it initiated with a bigger war in Syria. They want to provide a causus belli. The neocons are rabidly crazy. It doesn't help that there is a lot of oil in the Golan Heights of Syria.
Remember the WMD in Iraq. The truth came out after a while. Trump knows this very well. To satisfy the war-mongers, Trump immediately fired a BUNCH of missiles into Syria. I carefully read the damage reports. It is doubtful that the missiles hit anything of any consequence. Trump said that this is a one off response. He is buying time for the truth to come out.Ron Paul said that MOSSAD was responsible for the gas attack. With American involvement, all poisonous gas was removed from Syria years ago.
Assad has everything to lose by attacking;https://www.theautomaticearth.com/20...ound-familiar/

I believe that Trump fired off a big bang that really didn't do any damage. If Ron Paul is correct, I imagine that the truth will come out fairly soon.

Yes I am a very open minded individual and know we're only being told things from media b/c we're supposed to know/believe what they say at that time.

I too strongly believe both Putin & Trump DO NOT want war. I am well aware of the ones you call neocons. They're modern day elite imperialists who get their jollies from genocides and using Non-Profits like Doctors Beyond Boarders, Green Peace, Red Cross, etc... They have no regard for human life, for all we know they're not even fully human. The ones calling the shots whose names we do not even know... goes far beyond Rothschild, Buffet, Soros, Branson, Queen, etc...

Thank you again for your patronage and commitment to humanity!

Will definitely keep my eyes/ears tuned to this post as we continue, thank you so very much for your detailed info shared!

Truly appreciate all of the specs you shared. There's no way we missed that many targets on accident, I am with you!

Kunstler, "The current incident appears to be — or was engineered to be — a replay of the August 2013 gas incident that left President Barack Obama looking weak and indecisive for not carrying out retaliation against Assad “crossing a line in the sand” against human decency.
And so you have Mr. Trump, who may feel now that he cannot afford to appear weak and indecisive — above all other considerations, including the truth about what really happened at Khan Sheikhoun, Idlib province of Syria. So he bombed an airport, after warning the Russians to remove their personnel from the vicinity. In the event that the world ever does learn what actually occurred at Khan Sheikhoun, and the truth turns out differently than the current narrative, Mr. Trump can say, “We only bombed some Syrian air force infrastructure… no biggie"Bombs Away! - KUNSTLER

Trump is a negotiator. With immigration, he pushed a position that some wanted. That position was shown to be unworkable. The neocons want war with Russia and Iran. There are armored battalions within a few hundred miles of Moscow. He has crossed "red lines" with Russia in Syria.
The neocons used the "boiling frog" approach to a buildup for war with Russia. Then, they would provide a provocation that would push things over the edge. Trump has marched the world right up to within shouting distance of all out war with Russia. The backlash serves to shine a light on the reality of another world war.
Even Nigel Farage has attacked Trump,,, along with Le Pen. The "boiling frog" has just been shown a thermometer.
The Europeans are forced to evaluate the "transgressions" of Russia in an honest light. The (older) Europeans can easily recall the massive horrors of the last 2 world wars. Trump is forcing the world to make a clear evaluation of what the next step would bring.
He was accused of collaborating with Russia. Now, people are hoping that he starts collaborating with Russia.
Once the tanks start to roll, it is too late.

Yes, fortunately Putin knows of the "old dragons/serpents" as he calls them who call the shots and knows this was intentionally not a major move, more of a territorial piss on a fire hydrant to intimidate the other dog.

Yes, the slow boil for the frog has been getting cranked up exponentially higher and even "unaware" individuals to the world scam are seeing through the BS.

As long as the stock markets stay solid, we really shouldn't have an all out war... if the markets begin to tank you better bet the neocons have decided to convert from public corporate to an all out effort in military corporate operations and want to profit from arms and nation building (of course after we are the ones destroying that nations infrastructure). [Stock Markets are privately owned TRUSTS and manipulated by the elite, THEY ARE NOT AS THEY CLAIM THEM TO BE AND ARE NOT SAFE INVESTMENTS!!! PONZI SCHEME]

Things are brighter on the horizon, but we are still in dusk and have some time until the dawn.

Our internal and collective consciousness is directly mirrored by the actions in the waking/exterior world... Come on humanity, WAKE THE F UP!!!

Trump is a businessman. War is bad for business, unless you're an arms dealer. China is riding an inflation tiger that is going to cause huge problems. They don't need the additional problem of war. Russia has clearly shown that they don't want war.
"‘They’re terrified that peace was going to break out’ – Ron Paul on US Syria strike "https://www.rt.com/usa/384021-ron-paul-syria-strike/

Uhh, ignore the "horseback" pictures.

Couldn't agree with you more! Sad but disgustingly true. The elite will stop at nothing, human sacrifice is a fun picnic in the park for these demented sickos.

Sadly, these Elite are arms dealers. Typically we see a war (WWI or WWII) once they've exhausted as much of the financial system and stock markets as possible, then they go into destruction and mayhem (war) while dealing arms to all sides, and then they get the contracts to rebuild all of the infrastructure that they just demolished in that country, region, and/or countries.

I truly expect and hope him to keep his word. The only concerning thing for me was his statement about how Federal Agents will no longer go after guns for "LAW ABIDING citizens"

LAW is very much a topic open for discussion... for example, nowhere in the 2nd amendment does it say register fire arms, nor does it say a limit to the magazine/clip, nor does it say no autos.

I don't know you all out there but as far as I'm concerned if the gov has something the People are entitled to it as well, no exceptions.

I'm sure that's a little extreme for some of you, but how else are we to protect ourselves as a People if a defacto gov comes in and tries to put us in internment camps, or any other possible situations.

Keep in mind that, just as the State has a monopoly on printing money, the State would very much like to have a monopoly on violence.
" It is very difficult for the labouring people, who have been deceived and intimidated by the reactionary ruling classes for thousands of years, to awaken to the importance of having guns in their own hands."
"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
"The guns of the Russian Communist Party created socialism. "
"Experience in the class struggle in the era of imperialism teaches us that it is only by the power of the gun that the working class and the labouring masses can defeat the armed bourgeoisie and landlords; in this sense we may say that only with guns can the whole world be transformed"Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung, Vol. II, pp. 224-225[3]

"Weber claims that the state is the "only human Gemeinschaft which lays claim to the monopoly on the legitimated use of physical force. However, this monopoly is limited to a certain geographical area, and in fact this limitation to a particular area is one of the things that defines a state."[2] In other words, Weber describes the state as any organization that succeeds in holding the exclusive right to use, threaten, or authorize physical force against residents of its territory. "
"Weber's concept has been formalized to show that the exclusive policing power of the state benefits social welfare, provided the state acts benevolently in the interest of its citizens.[5]"

"The Drug Enforcement Administration seized more than $4 billion in cash from people suspected of drug activity over the last decade, but $3.2 billion of those seizures were never connected to any criminal charges."

Back on topic.
"And so, by 1939, the New World Order crime syndicate and the British & French chauvinists had nearly run out of all options and all propaganda pretexts for instigating another war "
Neither of these countries had a border with Germany so, they were hard pressed to create a cause celebre for initiating a war with Germany. They found a true nut-case egomaniac in Marshall Smigly. He was running Poland at the time and the West goaded him on to attack Germany. The West led him to believe that they would back him up. He dutifully attacked Germany to get WW II rolling along.EDWARD SMIGLY RYDZ: THE MAN WHO STARTED WORLD WAR II

The nut-case neocons got Georgia to attack South Ossetia. "Georgia’s defense minister, Davit Kezerashvili, is a former Israeli who is fluent in Hebrew "
Georgia immediately got their butt kicked and Russia withdrew. They are NOT interested in expansion.
BUT, this Russian protection of South Ossetia was used as an excuse to pander fear to the rest of Europe.

Moving back to Poland. After the shoot-up in South Ossetia, the Poles were convinced to accept a "defensive" missile shield. It was ostensibly slated to be used as protection from Missiles from Iran.
Moving on, the rabble-rousers created havoc in the Ukraine. The purpose was to deny Russia access to it's only warm-water port, Sevastopol.
At the same time, more and more missiles and bases were built at, or close to Russia’s borders.

"As I explained previously, the theory behind this insane scheme is that after America’s preemptive strike Russia will be so devastated that Russia would not retaliate with any remaining forces out of fear that Washington would launch a second major strike."
"In previous posts in recent years I have pointed out both written documents and changes in US war doctrine that indicate that Washington is preparing a preemptive nuclear attack on Russia and China. More recently, I have shown that Washington’s demonization of Russia and President Putin, the incessant lies about Russian deeds and intentions, and the refusal of Washington to cooperate with Russia on any issue have convinced the Russian government that Washington is preparing the Western populations for an attack on Russia."

So, Romania and Poland are to be loaded up with short-range missiles. This will knock out much of Russia's defences. America, being farther away will count on it's interceptors.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...plex_in_Poland
As Paul Craig Roberts states, there is no doubt about the missiles,,, only the intentions. The missiles based close to Russia are of no value as interceptors since Russia has long-range cruise missiles. ABMs don't work for cruise missiles.
The neocons are trying to make their intentions CRYSTAL CLEAR. By upsetting North Korea, they can justify filling up South Korea with missiles to attack China.

"Washington has quietly upgraded its nuclear weapons arsenal to create, according to three leading American scientists, “exactly what one would expect to see, if a nuclear-armed state were planning to have the capacity to fight and win a nuclear war by disarming enemies with a surprise first strike.”
“Under the veil of an otherwise-legitimate warhead life-extension program,” the U.S. military has vastly expanded the “killing power” of its warheads such that it can “now destroy all of Russia’s ICBM silos.”

"The upgrade—part of the Obama administration’s $1 trillion modernization of America’s nuclear forces—allows Washington to destroy Russia’s land-based nuclear weapons, while still retaining 80 percent of the U.S.’s warheads in reserve. If Russia chose to retaliate, it would be reduced to ash."
"But MAD is not a U.S. military doctrine. A “first strike” attack has always been central to U.S. military planning, until recently, however, there was no guarantee that such an attack would so cripple an opponent that it would be unable—or unwilling, given the consequences of total annihilation— to retaliate."

" While the military downplays these events, former Secretary of Defense William Perry argues that it is pure luck that we have avoided a nuclear exchange, and that the possibility of nuclear war is greater today than it was at the height of the Cold War."
"What that means is that while the U.S. would have about 30 minutes warning time to investigate whether an attack was really taking place, the Russians would have 15 minutes or less."

"A recent study found that a nuclear war between India and Pakistan using Hiroshima-sized weapons would generate a nuclear winter that would make it impossible to grow wheat in Russia and Canada and cut the Asian Monsoon’s rainfall by 10 percent. The result would be up to 100 million deaths by starvation. Imagine what the outcome would be if the weapons were the size used by Russia, China or the U.S."

"Russian President Valdimir Putin charged that U.S. anti-missile systems in Poland and Rumania were not aimed at Iran, but Russia and China. “The Iranian threat does not exist, but missile defense systems continue to be positioned"This is why the ongoing demonization of Iran. An excuse to point more missiles at Russia.http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/04/...ers-the-world/

The British war mongers set up to Poland to get WW II started. Who will they use to get WW III started?

The reason is much deeper! Russia and China are already ready to switch to mutual settlements in the equivalent of GOLD (they have enough gold reserves). In the network, this operation is called the operation of the Golden Tsar. Also, an independent electronic system of international mutual transactions was created. If this happens, then the entire Western economy will fall into a tailspin of a deep crisis. Who needs paper money. In his time, President Kennedy wanted to exclude the "paper money system" and return to the "golden system", but was demonstratively killed.

Therefore, we can only pray about how the rulers will behave. The sea of fire will fall on each other, or they will find a compromise. But I do not believe much that the Russians change anything, and they will leave their course for mutual settlements in a gold equivalent.

Russia appears to be QUITE confident in their new weapons and new jamming systems.

Putin can't very well allow Tel Aviv to bomb whatever they feel like. Tel Aviv has signed a contract to sell the oil in the Golan Heights of Syria.

The Russian jamming system must be pretty good. American pilots were making very few trips into Syria. The neocons may be trying to create a flashpoint but, the jamming system is not the same as an attack. Israel has the new f-35 but, I'm not impressed by them.
This is all part of the pipeline wars. Russia is going ahead with the Turkstream pipeline, The Syrian Pipeline War: How Russia Trumped USA Energy War in the Mideast

So, israel is determined to steal Syrian gas and send it to Europe. Syria is determined to sell Syrian and Russian gas to Europe. These "safe zones" will be a test of armaments and defences.
